I bought these a couple of years ago, and finally got them back on the truck. I painted mine gloss black though. This is pretty much what they will look like.

I am also interested in how much you are going to raise the front of your's. Mine has the redneck rake thing going on too, and I can't decide if I want to raise the front or drop the rear. I will probably wait and see how your's turns out.

There was about 9" of rake when I started it. 1+" of it is due to old springs. I am going for no more than 4" of rake when im done. I do NOT want to lower the rear. It will just have a "stock 4x4" look to it.

The new front coil springs looks like are giving me about 2.5 inches of lift from the old worn out springs. I am going with a taller tire on the front and that should give me another 1.5 inches. I am going with a smaller than current tire on the rear and that will drop it atleast 1.5".

I have also decided not to run dually rims on the front. They sit "in" too far for me. I mounted up some tires on some stock 16" wheels and put them on and they look great and dont rub at all. They widen the stance of the truck and really looks good.
